Green Grove is the musical project of Durham Fenwick, a musician and songwriter currently based in Auckland.
The Sleuth is the second single to be released from Green Grove's debut album Machine Music (out on September 27 via Sunreturn).
In a recent interview with Under The Radar Green Grove discussed The Sleuth - "Sonically I wanted to touch on spy / noir styles for this one... I have always loved a rotating bass line that just grooves out the whole song. I visually also wanted to add sci-fi and industrial references in there too.. hence the siren synth sounds and airy melody lines."

Green Grove's music is for deep listening, creating lush electronic worlds inspired by Lounge and Library Music. Durham has wholeheartedly immersed himself into Auckland's independent music scene, initially as the guitarist of New Gum Sarn, and then swiftly in to groups such as Guardian Singles, Bozo, PG/VG and as a live sound engineer at Whammy Bar.
Green Grove's debut album Machine Music was primarily written and recorded by Fenwick, along with help from his live band, synth / sax player JY Lee (Yoko-Zuna), synthesist Madison Eve (Peach Milk), bassist Paul Brown (Trust Punks, Horror In Clay), and drummer Mason Fairey (The Naenae Express, Oscar Dowling). The final mixes for Machine Music were then handed over to audio engineer Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Paquin) for the finishing touches.
To celebrate the release of Machine Music Green Grove will perform shows throughout the North Island. In Auckland they'll head down to The Wine Cellar on 27 September, and perform with support from neo soul outfit Skilaa and the psychedelic DIY instrumental producer Kraus. In Wellington Green Gove will play the Pyramid Club on 5 October with support from electronic producer Cave Circles.
